18-Mar-2007 -- Having arrived in Chad two days ago, I was doing GPS points from N'Djamena. Two of them were in Cameroon, on the opposite side of Logome River which marks the border between the two countries.

On Sunday, we crossed the border, more or less officially, to measure the points in Kousséri. I took the occasion to go to the confluence point with my driver, around 9 km south of Kousséri. The only track took us 2 km east of the point and we had to cut through the bush with our pick up.

The point is around 1 km southeast of a small village with houses made of baked clay bricks and straw roofs. The bush stretches out for kilometers with small prickly shrubs. The only color spots in this ochre monotony are the dresses of women going from one village to another on small tracks.

The last metres were done on foot and I just put my GPS right on the point!
I could read those "perfect" coordinates... After taking the photos and the mark on the GPS, we had to leave for Chad again before the border would be closed for the night. The "operation confluence point" took us 1 h!
